Hernia Repair And Abdominoplasty: 2008-03-04 04:23:00 A hernia is an unusually occurring protrusion of internal organs through a weakness in a muscular wall. They generally occur in the intestines and a repair or removal is recommended when a hernia is painful and interferes with daily activities or restricts the blood flow. They are also known to block the intestines. Some rare cases of hernia require a tummy tuck surgery or a panniculectomy surgery to be performed along with a hernia repair. However, this combined procedure depends on the severity of the hernia and the tissue mass in the area to be operated. Experienced cosmetic surgeons can perform such a combined procedure only if the hernia is small and if the tummy tuck surgery involves tightening the midline. But if the hernia in question is large or if the tissues are thin, it Read more:Hernia

Gearing Up For A Tummy Tuck Surgery: 2008-02-29 04:58:00 Prior to consenting to perform a tummy tuck surgery on patients, plastic surgeons assess the medical history of a patient. At this juncture it is best that the patient divulges any health complication, drug allergy, medical treatments and previous pregnancy to the plastic surgeon. Educating the doctor about your medical history is necessary to minimize the chances of any complications that might occur after an abdominoplasty procedure. Usually plastic surgeons put the patient on a well balanced diet some weeks prior to the surgery. Drinking and smoking is restricted two weeks prior to the abdominoplasty procedure. Based on the conclusion reached after the physical and psychological evaluation, the cosmetic surgery specialist deduces which tummy tuck procedure is best suited for the pati Read more:Surgery

Reverse Abdominoplasty - Is It For You? 2008-02-29 04:18:00 The reverse abdominoplasty is a very rare form of tummy tuck surgery. Plastic surgeons usually combine it with a breast lift or breast reduction or include it as part of an upper body lift procedure. Upper abdominoplasty, as it is also known, is a cosmetic surgery that dispenses with the excess skin that occurs above the umbilical regions. Patients with scars, those who desire an upper body lift or an upper body makeover are the best candidates for this procedure. Reverse
abdominoplasty is the surgery of choice for doctors who need to perform a reconstructive surgery in the upper body to treat skin that has been burnt. Plastic surgery specialists use either the mammary fold insertion or the vertical scar abdominoplasty for a reverse abdominoplasty. In case of the former technique, a
Dealing With Tummy Tuck Surgery Scars: 2008-02-29 03:47:00 Plastic surgeons zip up the incisions made in a tummy tuck surgery procedure using sutures that are usually absorbable or skin adhesives and tapes or clips. The scars that are left behind from a tummy tuck procedure cannot be avoided. In some people, tummy tuck scars are initially very dark and only begin to fade after a few months or after a year. Tummy
tuck scars are known to worsen within the first three months of the surgery, but they are also known to lighten in effect with time. Scarring depends a lot on the melanin content of the patient. Dark skinned individuals exhibit a tendency to scar with more intensity than light toned people. Besides melanin content, the type of abdominoplasty procedure that the patient has had also influences the degree of scarring. For instance, p Read more:Surgery
Tummy Tuck Surgery Using Endoscopic Cameras: 2008-02-29 03:46:00 An endoscope is a surgically safe camera that doctors use to glimpse the region that they are operating upon. The endoscope is usually attached to the surgical instrument that the cosmetic surgeon is using. An endoscopic abdominoplasty procedure therefore refers to a tummy tuck surgery that makes use of such a camera. Unlike a regular tummy tuck or a mini tuck, an endoscopic abdominoplasty is used for patients who have a taut skin covering loose internal abdominal muscles. The use of an endoscope deems this tummy tuck surgery comparatively less invasive as the incisions made are very small. Small incisions mean scars that are unobtrusive, further helped by the area of choice for the incision, which is usually the lower naval area. If there are any excess deposits of fat, the plast Read more:Cameras

Tummy Tuck Surgeries That Go Wrong: 2008-02-29 02:00:00 In Malaysia, the story of a woman who went in for an eyelid surgery and ended up having a tummy tuck and a liposuction made headlines last month. Well, actually she made the headlines because she slipped into a coma and is now on life-support. Authorities believe this incident took place as a result of the incompetence of the cosmetic surgeons who worked on her. Sadly, investigations have been halted as no one has lodged a complaint against the plastic surgeons. In Australia, a woman was entranced by a radio advertisement’s promise to resurrect a shapeless body after a pregnancy with a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. She came out happy with her breasts and devastated with her stomach. She is besieged with problems like bruising, swelling and internal bleeding. Worldwide, there i Read more:Tummy

Pregnancy After A Tummy Tuck Surgery: 2008-02-29 01:59:00 Tummy tuck surgeries are a favorite cosmetic surgery procedure for women who have just given birth. An abdominoplasty can tauten, smoothen and slim down excess skin from a pregnancy.Doctors try to ascertain that patients who want to bear more children in the future are discouraged from having a tummy tuck cosmetic surgery procedure. The reason behind this precaution lies in the muscle behavior during pregnancy. The skin and the muscles in the tummy region stretch out to accommodate the fetus. Over a period of nine months the skin and muscles dilate enough to lose any former elasticity that may have been achieved from a prior tummy tuck.Pockets of fat that are not very exercise-friendly also build up in the abdominal wall adding to the tummy shape. But over-all, a tummy tuck procedure is Read more:Pregnancy

Pulmonary Embolism Post Tummy Tuck Surgery: 2008-02-27 06:16:00 As related in the previous post, deep vein thrombosis is one of the complications that may result from a tummy tuck surgery. When left untreated, DVT is likely to develop into a threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism. This happens when the blood clot that has formed in a DVT breaks off from its lodging in the veins and travels up the bloodstream. When this rogue blood clot or embolus enters the lungs it results in a blockage. This causes the oxygen supply to the heart to stop and may result in heart failure and at times subsequent death. Pulmonary embolism is a very serious condition and yearly finds nearly 200,000 from among 100,000 patients in American hospitals suffering from this condition as its casualties. Researchers and medical experts believe that the mortality ra Read more:Surgery

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): 2008-02-27 05:14:00 One of the more severe complications of a tummy tuck surgery is deep vein/venous thrombosis. This is a state often observed in hospitalized patients after they have had a surgery. Development of blood clots is not unknown in a patient who has just had a tummy tuck plastic surgery. A small clot can lead to inflammation and the formation of more clots resulting in a slow-down of blood circulation. Plastic surgery patients who are predisposed to obesity and strokes, or have a history of cardiac problems and congestive heart failure are more likely to develop DVT. Women who are nursing or taking contraceptive pills too have to be aware of this condition. To minimize the risks of slipping into a DVT, plastic surgeons select patients only after a careful screening. Before introducing
Tummy Tuck Complications: 2008-02-27 04:39:00 Plastic surgery patients usually have a tummy tuck procedure to get rid of unwanted skin from after a pregnancy or excess fat and tightening of underlying muscles. The tautened abdominal structure that results from a tummy tuck procedure makes it one of the preferred options for body contouring surgery. The complications that may result from a tummy tuck surgery range from the easily curable to ones with lasting effects. Of the less severe complications, hypertrophic scarring, excess bleeding, infection, epidermal discoloration, etc. are the most common. More harmful complications like nerve damage, major wound separation, heart problems, deep vein thrombosis or persistent pain are known to persist in some cases of abdominoplasty.

However wonderful it might be, I’m referring to Shapewear, the undergarment that gives a whole new meaning to ‘well-defined’. Shapewear is literally shaping up to be viewed as a ‘non-invasive’ and less painful option to body contouring activities like diet, exercise and even procedures like tummy tuck and liposuction.

Another Reason To Dump The Beer Pot: 2008-02-25 22:46:00 How much ever 40-something’s may proudly claim their beer bellies to be signs of prosperity and success, it may prove to be anything but. Recent research has pointed to a link between beer bellies and heart attacks. Unlike subcutaneous fat that can be easily melted off through exercise, visceral fat (beer belly fat) has been proven to be tougher to loose. The main reason is its occurrence in the human body. Visceral fat surrounds the internal abdominal organs and is embedded deeper than comparatively harmless subcutaneous fat. When large deposits of visceral fat builds up near the main organs in the lower abdomen, arteries begin to harden and may result in the clotting of blood and possibly a stroke. Diabetes and hypertension are known to plague those with a beer belly as well. Read more:Reason

You might as well get ready to soak in some summer fashion with toned bodies that are buffed to look sizzling. If you have had a tummy tuck surgery to get a taut, fat-free abdomen, you might want your plastic surgeon to give you a belly button that will go with your new tummy perfectly.The umbilicoplasty or belly button makeover is offered by a lot of plastic surgeons as a supplement to procedures like an abdominoplasty and abdominal liposuction. Belly button sculpting can give a patient the T-shape which is considered very attractive by a lot of people or it can get buttons that
Panniculectomy And Abdominoplasty: 2008-02-24 22:54:00 Excess fat deposits are a distinguishing feature of an obese patient. Very often the deposits in the lower abdominal area are so massive that they give an ‘apron’ like look to the area. The presence of so much fat often leads to health problems like severe back pains and joint pains, rashes, ulcers, skin breakdown, etc. The abdominal panniculectomy is a plastic surgery procedure that removes this layer of lower abdominal fat and also does away with the excess skin which results from fat removal. The ‘apron’ may weigh anything between five to a hundred and twenty pounds. There are cases where the fat hangs low enough to cover the upper thigh area. A panniculectomy is different from an abdominoplasty though as a tummy tuck surgery takes care of smaller fat deposits as well as
Tragic Tummy Tuck: 2008-02-24 22:52:00 A few days back, I came across this news piece relating a tummy tuck procedure that went awry and allegedly led to the patient’s death. There were actually three plastic surgeries that this woman had gone into the operation theatre for, liposuction, breast reduction and a tummy tuck, and all to relieve chronic back problems. While the lawyer alleges that Tracey Jordan, 38 died due to the wrong drug being administered during the plastic surgery procedure, the hospital has reserved comment on the matter. It is not possible to gauge who is the wronged party in this case due to the lack of information. What can be deduced from this matter is the care that needs to be taken when an individual is contemplating a major surgery like a tummy tuck for health reasons. Frequently, health pr Read more:Tummy
Say No To Abdominoplasty, If You Can’t Say No To BDD: 2008-02-22 06:57:00 Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD is known to occur in 2-7 percent of people who have a plastic surgery procedure. It is essentially a psychological condition in which the individual preoccupies over an imagined or slight defect in appearance. The nature of BDD is comparable to conditions like delusions, social phobia, major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD. Most of the cases involving BDD go unreported due to the unwillingness of the patient to admit the condition. Patients suffering from body dysmorphic disorder have been known to fuss mainly over their facial features and genital area. Cosmetic surgery and other surgical treatments are often desired by these individuals, but are of no use once they are done as the patient either continues to mull over the same ar

Zapping Away Beer Bellies: 2008-02-21 06:20:00 It is common knowledge that beer bellies are a bad and unwanted extension of the body. They tend to involve a risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and are also held to cause heart attacks. A lot of men turn towards plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction to get rid of the beer belly or menopaunch. While cosmetic surgery can reduce a beer belly to a significant degree, it has to be considered as last resort. Middle-aged men are advised to change their life-style and dietary habits before thinking of going in for a nip-and-tuck. Drinks like beer and liquor are calorie-rich, something that your beer belly doesn’t want. Even junk foods lead to a gradual thickening of the waist-line A calorie-free food and drink regime should be the first step to

After Getting Your Tummy Tucked: 2008-02-20 07:30:00 A discharge from the medical facility after having a tummy tuck can take anything ranging from a few hours to a couple of days. Expect a swollen abdomen as the natural outcome of a tummy tuck procedure though. Plastic surgeons do prescribe medications and pain-killers however, to lessen the swelling and pain. In some cases, a compressive is applied to the swollen area to minimize the swelling and aid rapid healing. There are chances of body fluids and blood accumulating in the abdominal area during the recovery period. In this case, doctors position tubes to suction off these excesses for at least a week. Plastic surgeons recommend patients moving about as soon as is possible after a tummy tuck plastic surgery. Doing so not only prevents blood from clotting, but aids in the circul Read more:Tummy

Fat - Why We Love To Lose It: 2008-03-17 00:16:00 Cosmetic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck surgery or a liposuction or a neck lift surgery all deal with fat and varying degrees of its removal from the body tissues. But this is generally excess fat - excess, unwanted and at times potentially harmful fat. Intrinsically speaking, fats are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are sources of necessary energy for the body. The human body has to have some amount of fat, as this nutrient is one of its three calorie suppliers besides being important for insulation. There is a dark side to fat however, especially when it involves an intake of excess saturated and unsaturated fat. The former group is considered to be one of the factors causing heart disease due to the build-up of cholesterol it results in. A tummy tu

Regardless of the fact that a cosmetic surgery procedure like abdominoplasty is just as important as any other operation, a surprisingly large number of people seem to hold on to such a view.
